Morning Tea With A Difference!!
Karen Bloomberg has shared information and materials from an AAC
Awareness Month event which has been held at the Melbourne office of
Scope Victoria to help staff there learn a little about other ways to
communicate besides speech. The event involves a Silent Tea, with
food to lure participants, and a Bingo game with prizes, in which
participants use communication devices to interact and to show how well
they know their colleagues. We hope these materials will help you
in planning an event in your organization or community. You might
want to add an AAC Quiz to serve as an introduction to the topic of
communicating using other methods, as they have done at Scope.
In building awareness and teaching people about AAC, we find that it helps not only to cover some important concepts but also to dismiss some persistent myths and misconceptions. A quiz can be helpful for accomplishing this. We have some quizzes to offer you this year to use in AAC Awareness activities. Feel free to use them as they are or to modify them as you wish. If you have a quiz about AAC that you find helpful and are willing to share, please send it to us at info@aacawareness. We also welcome feedback on our quizzes. Thanks to Scope Victoria in Australia for sharing their AAC quiz with us. We modified it a bit to change questions which were specific to Australia.
